How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge

twitter, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a country obsessed with profit above principle. As famously pointed out by Scott Galloway, the United States has prioritized profit margins above social cohesion, and this has become its greatest vulnerability.

This singular focus on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to stagger between a wounded democracy and the alarming prospect of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not an unending chase after wealth.

Now consider Donald Trump, the unlikely yet inevitable figurehead for this troubled American moment. Trump's steady stride toward dictatorial ambition, democracy appears to be vanishing in real time under his MAGA-branded flag.

Meanwhile, this chaotic internal drama is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Putin himself must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Russian-backed, has become the most effective weapon against the United States. After decades of movies depicting invasions of America, but who could have predicted that the greatest threat would be welcomed openly via its own ballot boxes?

Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, patiently waiting, wondering if American democracy will endure Trump's experiment. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of tearing itself apart.

Despite genuine goodwill and noble intentions remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by ultra-conservative Tea Party Republicans and self-righteous Democratic leaders. Both sides fail to place country above cash or power.

Possibly it's too severe to assert, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the unchecked capitalism that eats away at its democratic foundations. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this core problem, its democracy will continue to struggle, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting eagerly for collapse.
